How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points.
≥Place speakers on flat secure bases.
≥Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover 
walls and windows with thick curtains.
≥The left and right speaker pairs are the same with respect to the front and surround speakers.
Simple setup
≥Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. 
The angles in the diagram are approximate.
Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will 
be negatively affected.
≥Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from 
falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from 
falling if you cannot set them up on an even surface.
Main unit
[Note]
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (
13
/
32
q) away from the system 
for proper ventilation. 
Center speaker
≥Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the picture if it 
is placed directly on the television. Put the center speaker on a 
rack or shelf.
≥To prevent the speakers from falling, do not place directly on top 
of the television.
Subwoofer 
Place to the right or left of the television, on the floor or a sturdy 
shelf so that it won’t cause vibration. Leave 10 cm (4
q) at the rear 
for ventilation.
Caution
≥Hold the speakers by the sides. 
Applying pressure to the front net can 
damage the speaker.
Notes on speaker use
≥You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you 
play sound at high levels over extended periods.
≥Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage.
– When playing distorted sound.
– When the speakers are receiving howling from a record player, 
noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an 
oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument.
– When adjusting the sound quality.
– When turning the unit on or off.

Setup example
Main unit
If irregular coloring occurs on your television
The supplied speakers are designed to be used close to a 
television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions 
and setup combinations.
If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.
The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the 
problem. If it persists, move the speakers farther away from the 
television.
Caution
The main unit and supplied speakers are 
only to be used as indicated in this setup. 
Failure to do so may lead to damage to the 
amplifier and/or the speakers, and may 
result in the risk of fire. Consult a qualified 
service person if damage has occurred or if 
you experience a sudden change in 
performance.
Do not attempt to attach these speakers to 
walls using methods other than those 
described in this manual.
